MIXER.

Appiieation filed March 11, 1914. Serial Ho. 828,918.

To all whom it may concern:

' tacle within which a beater may be placed when it is desired to use the combined receptacle and beater as a mixer, or the beater may be readily withdrawn from the receptacle when it is desired to use the beater alone. The receptacle here shown and described is especially adapted to be used withthe beater may be easily and quickly placed within and taken out of the receptacle.

A further object of the present improve ment is to so construct the top of the receptacle that the beater may be placed therein and taken out thereof by one movement.

A still further objectof my present improvement is to provide a mixer which comprises a receptacle and top so constructed that it may. be used in conjunction'with a beater, or the top may be taken therefrom and the receptacle used for other purposes.

A still furtherobject of the present improvement is to provide a beater having an oil feeding device which may be regulated to suit the desires of the users.

In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved mixer, showing the receptacle with its cover carrying beater and the oil feeding device. Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation showing the construction of the attaching means for the beater in detail. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of my improved mixer, showing the beater partly broken away. Fig. at is a sec- Speciflcation of Letters Patent.

tional view of the mixer, showing the attaching means for holding the cover to the receptacle and also for holding the beater, the beater partly broken away and partly shown in dotted lines. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the receptacle and the cover attachedthereto and showing'in detail both the means of withdrawing and inserting the beater and also for holding the cover to the receptacle. 'Fig. 6 is a fragmentary detailed view of the clamping means carried by the receptacle for supporting and holding the beater.

Referring now to the drawings, in which I like reference numerals designate similar parts, 1 represents a receptacle which is here shown constructed of glass and having an outwardly flared base 2, but it is readily understood that the construction of the receptacle or the material of which it is composed, maybe changed without departing from the splrlt and scope of the present improvement. The upper end of the receptacle 1, carries a cover which comprises a flange 3, which is adapted to fit around the top of the receptacle 1 and a reduced upwardly extending portion 4, which terminates'in a circular flattened portion 5. The coveris bisected, as shown at 6, and the two portions formed by this bisection are connected by any desired form of hinge 7. The object and purpose of having this cover formed in two parts will be hereinafter fully pointed out. The means for attaching the cover to the receptacle, comprises lugs 8, which are molded on the upper portion of the receptacle 1 and which pass through openings 9 formed in the flange 3 of the cover. In order to keepthe two portions of the cover closed when it is so desired, a catch 10 is provided having aportion 10, which passes over one of thelugs, above referred to. In order to insure that the cover will not slide from the rece tacle when one-half thereof is swung out, as shown in Fig. 5, a locking member is provided which-consists of an eccentrically arranged disk 11, pivoted upon a bracket 12, which is secured to the cover. \Vhen it is desired to lock the cover to the receptacle, 1.00

The oil feeding mechanism comprises a funnel 15, the spout 16 of which passes through an opening 17 formed in the re ceptacle cover. This oil feeding mechanism is carried by the half of the cover, which remains stationary. In order to bothregulate or stop the passage of oil through the funnel, a removable plug 18 is provided which is carried by a chain 19 attached to the upper end of the funnel at apoint 20. This plug18 is of a size and is adapted to close the opening at the bottom of the funnel, when it is so desired. The plug is shown closing this opening in Figs; 2, 3 and 4.

The means for attaching the beater within the receptacle is carried by the flattened portion 5 of the cover. The beater here used in conjunction with this cover is of the form known as the Ladd beater, which comprises beater blades .21, which are operated by gears 22, which mesh with a manually turned gear 23, carried by the upright 24: of the handle 25. The operating means of the gear 23 comprises a crank 25 to which is attached a knob 26. The specific form of beater will not be referred to here, as

it has been fully described in said Laddpatent. The only parts which will be especially referred to in this application are the flanges 27, which carry the parallel arranged gears 22. A flange of relatively the same size and shape as one of the flanges 27 of the beater is attached to the portion 5 of the cover.

5 by means of a laterally extended portion 2t and bolts r10, which pass thereth-rough clamping it to the portion 5. A-lip 31 is formed of one edge of the flange 28 and a catch 32 is pivotally mountedat 33 on the other edge of the flange 28. The catch and lip are of a thickness to embrace the edge of the flange 27 of the beater, as will be readily understood, to clamp the flange 27 to the flange 28. Fig. 6 shows in detail how these two flanges are clamped together. Openings 3-1 are formed in the flanges 28 to admit the bearings 35 for the axles of the gears 22. Y i 4 From the foregoing description and by reference to the Ladd patent, it will be seen that the attaching means here provided necessitates absolutely no change in the construction of the beater. .However, it is to be understood that the specific form here This flange referred to is I numbered 28 and is connected to the portion shown is but one means of accomplishing an attaching means which is carried by the cover of a receptacle' It is to be understood that the device here shown is intended to cover any mixing- Having thus described m invention,
